Does excel automatically duplicate file? For example - a file is created
named Budget.xls and it appears that excel is creating duplicates of the file
named (for example) Budget;001.xls, Budget;002.xls, etc. - why does this
occur?

Do you see these names on the Title bar above the Worksheet Menu or maybe on
the Taskbar?

You sure it's not the other way round like

Budget.xls:1 and Budget.xls:2 etc?

This would indicate you have multiple windows with the same file in each
window.

Close each window until you get down to one.

Save the file.
